Support local families at the Los Angeles Ronald McDonald House! Come and sample Mrs. Thinster’s deliciously crunchy, non-GMO, cookie thins and donate school supplies to children in need.

Major purchases typically on sale: New cars from current year model after new model introduction of next year’s models (NMI), furniture, air conditioners.

Travel: The September shoulder season travel (just after the peak season) is often a good bargain and less crowded.

Fruits and vegetables: apples, cantaloupe, celery, chard, corn, cucumbers, grapes, green peppers, lima beans, nectarines, pears, tomatoes. With some produce now available all during the year, many people have forgotten when fruits and vegetables are really in season. Buying in season means that these items are often cheaper, fresher, taste better and that money may be going to local farmers.
